At first I was like what a silly contraption, and now i just appreciate how straight-forward the solution is. I ended up wiring components onto relays to do power management on a past project and using a pi to control it, but in hindsight I was over thinking it. This would have solved my problem a hell of a lot more safely than what I did.
